PARIS STYLE.
! At O'Clock teas, which ere at present
/ quite the thing N Paris, ladies wear short
skirts and very small nantes or jackets.
| Toilets for these entertainments are Of
wooden fabrics, which are costlier than
velvet or plush. As they have the addi-
ton OF rich passementerie and embrOid-
| cry, this apparently simple style of dress
/ is not worn for motives of economy.
NOTES.
Dotted wells in all colOrs are the STYLES.
White kid gloves are being revived in
! French ball rooms Just now
A new bright blue is known as Jubilee
| blue, in honor of Queen Yictoria's Jubilee.

/ looking and often becoming trimming to

Laces Will be very prominent the com
/ ing season, and will be seen wherever
| their wear is appropriate.
Large plaids are brought Ous for the
skirts of gingham dresses, plain gingham
forming the bodice, sleeves and scarf

Round waists, with heavy satin ribbons
tied in handsome stylish loops at the left
side, are still conspicuous among French
toilets for demi-dress wear

Baby-ri5bOn pOmpOns are not only
used for trimming all sorts Of hats and
bCnDets, but also for hesd-drcsses, in
which case they are i-termiXed with tulIe
puts or faCCy butterflies.
Very becoming dresses fer stout pee
ple 8rG made Of the new inch vide striped
fabrics, with plated skirts CT plain goods,
with the stripee used as 4 border around
tie long GreCian draperies.
This is the news from Paris: Under
clothing el2bOrately trimmed with lace is
going out Of ashton. E!e9antCs leave
them 10 the women Of the demi-mOnde
and are adopting themselves models Of 4
pure and lady-like simplicity"
TIE latest wrinkle for the "high tea"
uniform is to wear the gay apron en-
brOidered in Roman cOIorS 9 sleeveless
zouaye jacket of white canvas cloth,
reaching just to the waist behind and cut
away without mercy TO show the house
gown in front.
Fancy wooden dresses for spring wear
will be made up with killed and paneled
skirts with tuniCs above, which will be
made either lorg or short, 10 suit the
slender or the stout wearer. Graceful
drapeTies are upon the back of the skirts
and the Oodices are elaDorately OrnG-
mented.
Pretty basques for home wear are made
of pale eCru tricOt cloth, 7the lower edge
cut in vandykes, and trimmed around
with rows of very narrow golden brown
velvet ribbon. The vest is strapped
across with the same, between the wide
velvet reyers, which begin on the Shout
der-seRm and terminate in 3 point at the
waist.
Old ladies who have not too many
prejudices against change, arc wearing

true, to wear it lower and fuller on, tae
back Of the head, but the soft, pretty
cuIls have completely enchanted rtaem.
Regular caps, too, they have learned to
BdistrUst, and gepkie Ianpet or two, yer
some bits CT lace .Rnd HbbOn, are their
trusted aids to beauty. -
Skirts OF fawn-colOred aERsfre are worn
in the house, with Wide Sashes of dark
Iaurel-green MORE end Z9Uave Jacket OF
laurel green velvat, edged with fawn-
#ccl0red rosary beads. Very wide SCarfs
ref palmer striped suTah are fastened on
Dc knted shirt back of the hips, Drought
oveFto the right side, and knotted, giving
the effect OF a short tunic. The long
ends are gathered to point and tipped
with beaded ornaments or silk tqssels.
Cuffs lGundried at home fail to please
because they are irOned cut fat, and
when the buttons are put in they blister
and wrinkle. This can be avoided If the
laundress only knows how to iron the
cuffs until they arc perfectly dry, and
then takes the broad end of the fiat-iron
and, pressing very hard on the edge,
places 1t at one end of the cuff and slowly
goes over the length of the cuff. The cuff
will roll as the iron leaves it. This is SO
simple an operation that one is likely TO
succeed The first time she tries to do it.
